2022 Membership Renewal & Award Nominations

January 11, 2022

Dear Meteoritical Society members,

I wish all of you a safe and Happy New Year! I sincerely hope all of us will have the option to attend our next Annual Meeting in Glasgow.

Membership Renewals:

Those of you who have not yet renewed your membership will have temporarily lost your access to the Member Portal (and therefore to the Journal) on January 1st, but this can be easily remedied by renewing. Subscription to the print journal will not be interrupted if members renew by January 20th. You will find below the instructions for renewal as specified by our Digital Infrastructure Lead, Mendy Ouzillou.

Only about a month is left to nominate candidates for our Society's Awards. The procedures for making a nomination can be found on our website, https://meteoritical.org/awards. Nominations for Meteoritical Society awards should be sent, preferably by email with electronic attachments, to the appropriate committee chair where that person is known, or to the Secretary (MetSocSec@gmail.com). Here are the deadlines for the various awards, the committee chairs and their e-mail address.

Award Nominations:

January 31, 2022 deadline:

The Paul Pellas - Graham Ryder Award (TBD – joint with the Planetary Division of GSA – send nominations to metsocsec@gmail.com at present)
